1st Day of School 2008-09

Taya and Beau are both at a new school this year. Beau was excited cuz his best friend Cayden goes to this school! Taya was not as excited because all her friends go to a different school, but they both got through the first day, with smiles! Taya said she made a lot of new fun friends, so many that she could only remember 1/2 their names. So I was glad, and they both love their teachers!

Anyway it is so much fun I Love it!! And last week we won first place in the tournament we entered, it was such a rush! We are a bunch of gals that practice hard, play hard, and have a blast doing it!

The Hoogle Zoo

I'm just posting pics of the kids, I figured if you've been to a zoo, you've seen the animals and they're always better in real life than in a pic.

Re-Updated

K I found more pics from Christmas morning.

Creative with a Box

It has been a cold winter, so it's a challenge to keep the kids occupied inside, especially when they are off track for 3 weeks. So I got creative and made Beau & his buddy Cayden, Sponge Bob box outfits. It was quite a hit amd a hoot with two 6 year old Sponge Bobs running around the house. Thanks Mom for your toll paints! They came in pretty handy for this little project. And made two little boys quite happy for a few days!
